Michael Jackson: Quotes on his relationship with God

“No matter what, the most powerful thing in the world is the human mind and prayer, and belief in yourself and confidence and perseverance. No matter how many times you do it, you do it again until it’s right. And always believe in yourself. And not matter who’s around you that is being negative or thrusting negative energy at you, totally block it off. Because whatever you believe, you become.”

Michael Jackson spoke these words in an Online Audio Chat sponsored by GetMusic.com and RollingStone.com on October 26, 2001 with Anthony DeCurtis as the moderator.

His views on the songwriting process:

“Michael: Well, the songwriting process is something very difficult to explain because it’s very spiritual. It’s, uh…You really have it in the hands of God, and it’s as if it’s been written already – that’s the real truth. As if it’s been written in its entirety before were born and you’re just really the source through which the songs come. Really. Because there is…they just fall right into your lap in its entirety. You don’t have to do much thinking about it. And I feel guilty having to put my name, sometimes, on the songs that I – I do write them – I compose them, I write them, I do the scoring, I do the lyrics, I do the melodies but still, it’s a…it’s a work of God.”

Michael’s views on talent:

“You give of your talent, of your ability… the talent that was given you by the Heavens. That’s why we’re here, to bring a sense of escapism in time of need. And, uh, if you’re a painter you paint; if you’re a sculptor, you sculpt; if you’re a writer, you write; if you’re a songwriter, you give songs; if you’re a dancer, you give dance. You give people some love and some… some bliss and some escapism, and to show that you truly care from the heart, and be there for them. Not just from a distance, but show you really care. You know, take the long mile and be there for them. And that’s what I did, and many others who cared and helped. And it’s an important thing.”

His views on a spiritual energy:

“Anthony: Now Glenn from Toronto Canada asks, “Do you feel a special spiritual energy when you’re performing; do you feel you are connected to a higher force? Cause this is what you make many feel when they see you live?”
Michael: That’s exactly what it is, you’re connected to a higher source and you just go with the moment and you become one with, you know, the spirit. Not to sound religious or anything, but it’s a very spiritual… very much like religion, and it’s a God-given gift and you just go with it. And I’m honored to have been given it. And, uh, as fun to become one with the audience. It’s a one-ness, you know?”

His views on music and the music of the spheres:

“And playing music, the grass and the trees and the flowers… They’re all influenced by music. They become more beautiful and more vibrant in how they grow. Music is a very important and powerful substance, and all the planets in the universe make music. It’s called music of the spheres. They all make a different note; they make harmony. So there’s harmony even in the universe as we speak.”

Interesting mix of views: Zen, Christian, New Age and ancient philosophy combined. Michael embraced a potpourri of mystical faiths. It’s not certain how deep his faith really was, or how much he applied his faith steadily to his life. We can speak “truths” or grapevine philosophies. We can embrace these ideals with our minds, bodies and souls for moments or for interviews or when questioned about them, but integrating them into the “whole” of ourselves, (creating a “united” Self with our many sub-personalities) and acting from that core, is another matter and a challenge we all face every day.

Very interesting blog, love to see specially information about Michael’s faith and how much it helped him through his life! He brought us a message of love straight from God and helps us come together for the world 🙂

Michael is like a messenger straight from God himself…Michael’s message was all about spreading love and joy into people’s lives. Despite his sadness and childhood problems he overcame them to give the world more love and harmony. His music touched millions from everywhere in the world. I always can connect with his music,he is a universal being , a beautiful soul who was purely good. Miss you MJ

The name michael is gotten from the name “mikaya” in hebrew meaning who is like God.Many have said it that michael is one of the angels of God which I agre with them but there is a reminder that michael is the father of sethur in the old testament of the bible.The name michael in many cultures of the world interpreted means”who is like God”.In arabic the translation is slightly different because it means”Alli”which when translated means”God is the greatest”,so the difference is that in hebrew “mikaya”or”michael”means”who is like God”the former is a direct eulogy while the latter a rhetooric question but they both serve the same purpose to exalt or praise.

very nice and lovely words that come frome the golden heart that had beated in his chest. we love him so much because he had immense love for the children of the world and unaffected graciousness. he indicated to us best ways to help each other.

Very impressed,i dont know what to say about Michael Jackson who became a black man figure bcos he became the figure of christ sometimes,though he was carried away with rock and other religions with different things at all time.
